Chopping out of an immaculate but 10year old 911 C4S. Hope I've done the right thing!
Sure I'll take a big depreciation hit but yolo!!!

Black on black. Maybe a bit dull but I like it.

Basic (comfort) seats and auto. I really wanted to go manual but just not practical for me as my daily driver.
I'm saving that for a 992T next. Assuming I don't fall in love with the M2!

I think you’re right Hammy. I’ve had two previous M4 comp’s and see the new one and M3 in the dealership and deliberately went for the M2 over the others. It looks the perfect size whereas the M4 looked huge!

As the author of the original post it was a little surprising that some people feel the need to comment on my use of language and not the underlying post.

In my professional life I’m quite the stickler for the appropriate use of language/grammar but a little more relaxed on social media, texts etc.

I don’t recall walking into the Porsche specialist and asking to ‘chop in’ my 911 nor telling the Sales Executive at BMW that I’m ready to ‘pull the trigger’ on the M2 but I suspect you know that.
The ‘clever remarks/responses’ are more symptomatic of the times we live in I suppose where keyboard warriors feel empowered to give you the benefit of their wisdom. I suspect they’d be a little more respectful & polite face to face. If my comments bother you then feel free to ignore my post and move on without comment.
Thank you for all the positive comments and genuine replies. I’m enjoying the car but it does seem very thirsty and with quite a small tank. Apart from that very pleased so far.
Happy New Year.
